In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
The author has something to say: I added a little more content to the previous chapter, making it 2,000 words~
"Is that Tao Lu's girlfriend?" Ju Jingbai ignored Xu Cheng's awkward expression and changed the subject, asking, "Where is she? Can we go meet her?"
Ju Jingbai looked in the direction Bai Yi pointed, and near the school wall, there stood a misty, almost pure white female figure.
"If you want to see her, she will let you go alone." Bai Yi interpreted the Peach Blossom Demon's meaning.
"Okay, Brother Yuan, I'll go over and take a look." Ju Jingbai said.
"Be careful. If she starts arguing with you, call for help." Yuan An nodded.
Ju Jingbai slowly approached. When she saw the Peach Blossom Demon's appearance clearly, her heart skipped a beat. This kind of demonic spirit had an ethereal look, completely different from ghosts and monsters. When it frowned and smiled, it was extremely beautiful. She couldn't help but smile too. "Hello, what's your name?"
"Tao Lu and I grew up right next to each other. He named himself Tao Lu, and I named myself Tao Hong," Tao Hong said gently. "I've heard about what happened here from Bai Yi and the others. Tao Lu was definitely wrong in this matter. I've nurtured that piece of peach wood for years, so I'm giving it to you as an apology."
Ju Jingbai wanted to refuse.
Taohong noticed and spoke up, "I've asked Baiyi to pass on a message to Taolu, telling him to reform himself in prison. I'll be waiting for him. When Taolu gets out, could you please help me get us together?"
"Of course, I will ask my descendants to do it." Ju Jingbai nodded. It would probably take a hundred years for Tao Lu to be released from prison.
"We elves have long lifespans, so we can wait." Taohong expressed her gratitude. After a moment's thought, she instructed, "Taolu is impulsive, full of devious ideas, and countless clever tricks. Tell the prison guards to pay more attention to him. I don't want to wait around and see Taolu's sentence extended."
"I'll tell the police." Ju Jingbai noticed the sadness on Taohong's face and comforted her.
"Then I feel relieved." Taohong smiled lightly and looked at Taolu from a distance.
Taolu seemed to realize something, looked up, exchanged glances with Taohong, and waved.
Taohong is too soft, isn't she?! Ju Jingbai couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, why are you with Taolu?"
"Tao Lu always tells me he fell in love with me at first sight, but when we first became conscious, we didn't really communicate much. I'm a pretty boring elf, but following Tao Lu around is always fun. It's like my life experiences have been broadened. Tao Lu has been the one who took me on countless firsts," Tao Hong said with a smile. "He's also very charming, so it was natural for me to fall in love with him."
Ju Jingbai seemed to be thinking about something and turned his head to glance at Tao Lu.
Tao Lu no longer had the cold-blooded look she had in the illusion. She happily enjoyed Tao Hong's gaze, like a little fool who was infatuated with love.
--What's wrong?
Ju Jingbai lowered his head and checked his phone. It was a WeChat message from Xu Ge.
--fine.
Ju Jingbai typed out a long string of thoughts about love, then deleted them word by word and replied.
Taohong gave some more instructions about Taolu's little habits, rejected Ju Jingbai's idea of returning Taomu, and then turned and left.
Ju Jingbai watched Taohong's ethereal figure gradually turn transparent and disappear into nothingness.
"What did she say? Is it different from what Taolu said?" As soon as Taohong left, Xu Ge and the others stepped forward.
"No difference. By the way, boss, do you want this piece of peach wood?" Ju Jingbai thought that his grandfather and the others already had weapons at hand, so he handed the peach wood over and said, "I don't have any use for such fine peach wood."
"Yes." Xu Ge raised an eyebrow. "Give me a small change and make up five million, okay?"
"Okay." Ju Jingbai didn't hesitate. It was free money anyway.
Xu Cheng stood nearby, unable to get a word in. To be honest, he was also quite moved by the piece of wood. He wanted to buy it too!
He wanted to go back and cover his mouth when he just spoke. If he had known earlier...
Yuan An looked at Xu Cheng's frustration, patted Xu Cheng's shoulder with a smile, turned around and walked back: "Pull back!"
The surrounding environment was cleared by the police. Ju Jingbai and Xu Ge waved goodbye and went straight back to the dormitory from the small path. There was no one around them except Bai Yi and a few other kids who did not choose to go down and followed her.
"Bai Yi?" Ju Jingbai called out.
Because the evil spirit she just encountered in the illusion was too ugly, she can now talk to Bai Yi and the others at close range.
"What's wrong, boss?" Bai Yi asked.
"You still call me boss, you also saw my performance in the illusion."
"You're already pretty tough, big man." Bai Yi praised, "You have no idea how handsome you were when you were clearly scared but still tried your best to save me!"
"Really?" Ju Jingbai laughed. "I don't know how handsome I will be, but I know that if I'm not afraid of that evil spirit, I will definitely be more handsome. I want to do some special training for myself and make time to watch horror movies and ghost stories. I never watched them before because I was afraid."
"Boss, you're awesome! I've been afraid of ghosts since I was a child, so I've never watched a horror movie. Now I'm not afraid anymore, you can watch one with me!" The speaker was the young lady with the cucumber mask on her face. She was the makeup artist in the Time group, so she stayed with Bai Yi and the others.
"I'm coming too!" "I'm coming too!" Blue-haired man, Wang Qing and others said one after another.
"That's fine, but only one person can come at a time." Ju Jing rolled his eyes at the headless person next to him who was also trying to speak, and quickly said, "No, headless people are not allowed!"
The one without a head is the driver. He was the most seriously injured in the car accident and even his head couldn't be put together.
He touched his neck and lowered his head in frustration.
"Unless you lend me your head." Ju Jingbai said again.
The driver's eyes lit up and he looked back and forth among the ghosts around him.
Bai Yi and the others felt cold all over and covered their heads with their hands.
It’s not impossible to pull it out, but if I really did, it would be embarrassing, and I would lose all my dignity!!
Ju Jingbai couldn't help laughing and asked, "What's the name of your group? Let me look up your previous performances."
"You can find it by searching the time combination. Boss, I want to see it too. There will definitely be news about our accident. Maybe our fans will leave messages below to miss us!" Bai Yi moved closer to Ju Jingbai and secretly looked at Ju Jingbai's mobile phone screen.
Ju Jingbai didn't care and clicked on a blurry little video, which should be their first performance as a group after the audition.
His singing voice is immature, but he looks so handsome when he is on stage with all his strength.
Ju Jingbai commented: "So cool, I can't imagine how popular they would be if they were alive."
When Bai Yi saw this, he couldn't help but look back, and a feeling of joy burst out from his whole body.
Ju Jingbai smiled and scrolled to the comments below. In just a few seconds, someone responded to her.
—Are you blind? That's it? These guys would be nothing but a bunch of idiots. They're so dishonest, I'm ashamed of them for being so famous! Thankfully, God couldn't stand it and sent them off early, otherwise, ugh!!
